Julian of Norwich

"All shall be well and all manner of things shall be well."

Every time I think about (read: worry about) graduate school, these words run through my head. Then today, Fr. Ned mentioned this quote from St. John Vianney: "God commands you to pray, but He forbids you to worry."

Definite food for thought.

Oh my

Almost 2 whole months since I have updated. Well, suffice it to say that the end of the semester came with a vengeance after Cornhuskin', but I now have time to breathe again! Here's all I have to offer now, from the Simple Woman's Daybook (http://thesimplewomansdaybook.blogspot.com)

FOR TODAY
December 12th, 2009

Outside my window...well, I'm at work, so I don't have a window. But I know that it's dark outside
I am thinking... about what to watch on Netflix when I get off duty
I am thankful for... my adventure with Grandma today!
From the kitchen... cookie dough in my fridge
I am wearing... my favorite turquoise skirt, a black shirt with a white sweater over top and my new black boots with tights underneath :)
I am creating... a scarf when I get home and get my yarn
I am going... to late Mass in the morning
I am reading... Alice in Wonderland for the first time, unabridged
I am hoping... that this will be a stress-free break
I am hearing... the sound of the heat and the click of the keys on the keyboard
Around the house... it's looking a little sparse-2 of my roommates are gone already and the last is heading to Indiana on Monday morning
One of my favorite things... is singing, which is why I am so glad I made it into Encore! for next semester :)
A few plans for the rest of the week: finishing apartment inspections on Monday, then baby Jack's 5th (!!) birthday, then just being home/helping with school/getting ready for Christmas!
Here is picture for thought I am sharing:
